Utah Mammoth Face BRUTAL Contract Decisions After Cooley Extension | Who Gets PAID and Who Gets CUT?

Utah Mammoth face critical roster decisions after locking up Logan Cooley with an 8-year, $80 million extension. With limited cap space and multiple key players approaching contract negotiations, which stars stay and who gets traded? Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño break down the contract situations for Nick Schmaltz, Barrett Hayton, and Kevin Stenlund while examining defensive roster changes involving Jusso Valimaki, Ian Cole, and John Marino. The discussion covers Karel Vejmelka's uncertain goaltending future, Alexander Kerfoot's injury concerns, and how Bill Armstrong must balance rewarding current performance against maintaining championship flexibility. Key debates include whether Schmaltz's career-year production justifies a major extension, if Hayton's first-line minutes warrant top-dollar despite third-line production, and how entry-level contracts will fill roster gaps as veterans depart. Discover which Mammoth players are priorities for extensions and who's likely gone by summer as Utah transitions toward Stanley Cup contention. 0:00 Intro 1:43 Logan Cooley contract celebration and next steps 4:23 Nick Schmaltz contract year performance analysis 7:48 Schmaltz pricing himself out of Utah 12:40 Barrett Hayton's RFA status and arbitration risk 18:20 Why playing center is so difficult 23:03 Lawson Crouse's future contract situation 26:43 Defense roster changes and departures ahead 31:12 Developing young defensemen for NHL roles 34:29 Alex Kerfoot's injury and contract considerations Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LO_NHLUtah?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On Utah Mammoth on XLocked On Mammoth https://x.com/LockedOnMammothRobyn Leaño https://x.com/robyn_leanoTom Callahan https://x.com/CallahanOnAir #NHL #Utah #SaltLakeCity #NHLUtah #UtahHC #TusksUp #UtahMammoth 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
